The other day, I heard a newsreader use the word "awry" while reading the news on television. She pronounced the word as "awe-ree": /ˈɔ:ri/. I believe that's also how the majority of Malaysians pronounce the word.
Be honest, now - how do you pronounce it?
The correct pronunciation is "a-rye": /əˈraɪ/.
